So we're doing this thing where we try to get the little man to sleep in his crib. It's not going well. People tell you that babies don't cry for more than thirty minutes, but they haven't met the most persistent baby in the universe. I go and check on him every so often, give him his pacifier, and try to soothe him. He likes it until about 5 minutes after I leave. Then it's back to time to wail. I'm trying to keep all of the lights off, but it doesn't seem to help. Every ten minutes or so, he'll calm down and I'll think he's out. After about a minute, that ship sailed. It's supposed to get easier after a few nights, but I don't know how long I can take it.
Oh, and this is my first shift. Christy handled last night, and I now feel even sorrier for her.
